Hi, I'm trying to connect two drives to one Adaptec 4000 controller, using both lun 0 and lun 1. The problem is that I do not get a response from the drive at lun 1. I've swapped cables, disks etc. (but not the adaptec, since I only have one). I have two small cables which go each to a drive. As far as the big connector concerns, I've mounted an additional connector on the cable so now I can connect both drives. I'm not only not able to get 2 drives working. If they are both connected, the drive at lun 0 will not operate eiter. Also, using software which checks all scsi/lun combinations, I cannot get a single drive at lun 1 (none connected at lun 0) recognized. Has anyone seen this problem before? Something wrong with my adaptec? Something wrong with me ? :-) Thanks in advance for any help, -- Frans Meulenbroeks (meulenbr@cst.philips.nl) Centre for Software Technology ( or try: ...!mcsun!phigate!prle!cst!meulenbr)

Is it really a 4000 or rather a 4070 (Megafile 30/60)? >The problem is that I do not get a response from the drive at lun 1. >I've swapped cables, disks etc. (but not the adaptec, since I only have >one). If you own a Megafile 30/60, there's a reason why. ATARI made some changes on the motherboard; if you snail-mail me, I can describe them and the things what you have to do to cure the problem. >I'm not only not able to get 2 drives working.

Have you tried with external power for the second drive? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claus Brod, Am Felsenkeller 2, Things. Take. Time.
